Union Software Implementation
eMembership is configured
to match how your union works
Before implementation begins, we run a structured Discovery Project to document your union's processes and confirm every configuration. You get a fixed scope, a confirmed cost, and a clear schedule.

What is a Discovery Project?
A short engagement
A short engagement
that sets up a successful implementation
Most union software implementations fail because the software doesn't match how the union actually operates. eMembership's Discovery Project exists to prevent that. Before a single line of configuration is written, we review your current processes, systems, and requirements area by area, document everything, and produce a fixed-scope package. You know exactly what you are getting, what it will cost, and when it will be done.
How It Works
Four to six sessions across
Four to six sessions across
four weeks
The Discovery Project is highly interactive. We schedule sessions with designated people from your organization and work through each area of your operations systematically.
1
Review your current processes and systems
We review your existing workflows, computer systems, and data. This surfaces what is working, what is not, and where eMembership can streamline operations. Nothing is assumed.
2
Walk through eMembership area by area
Each module is reviewed in the context of your union's specific workflows. We identify every configuration and customization your local requires, and introduce best practices where we can help.
3
Document every requirement
Everything is written down. Configurations, customizations, integrations, data migration requirements, and edge cases are all captured in a formal Discovery Package that becomes the foundation of your implementation.
4
Receive your Discovery Package
The deliverable is a complete package with a confirmed implementation scope, a fixed cost, and a milestone schedule. This gives you everything you need to make an informed decision about moving forward to full implementation.
What You Receive
A Discovery Package with
A Discovery Package with
three concrete deliverables
At the end of the Discovery Project, your union receives a formal document that eliminates ambiguity before implementation begins.
Implementation Scope
A confirmed inventory of every screen, report, workflow, and process the system must support. No surprises once implementation begins about what was or wasn't included.
Implementation Cost
A fixed cost to implement eMembership for your local, confirmed against the documented scope. No estimates, no ranges. A number you can take to your board.
Implementation Schedule
A high-level project plan with clear, tangible milestone dates from kickoff through go-live. Your team knows what to expect and when to be available.
Unlimited seats, no per-user fees. Your eMembership subscription covers your entire team: every steward, officer, and staff member, at no additional cost per user.
Frequently asked questions about
eMembership implementation
A Discovery Project is a structured four-week engagement where Winmill reviews and documents your union's current processes, systems, and requirements. Working area by area, the team confirms every configuration and customization needed to tailor eMembership to your operations. The deliverable is a formal Discovery Package with a fixed scope, cost, and schedule, giving your union a clear picture of the engagement before full implementation begins.
Yes. The Discovery Project is how we ensure that eMembership is properly configured for your union before implementation begins. Skipping this step is how other software implementations fail. The Discovery Project is also what produces your confirmed implementation cost and schedule, so you have a fixed number to take to your board before moving forward to full implementation.
The project includes four to six interactive sessions with designated people from your organization. We review your current business processes and systems, identify what is working and what is not, introduce best practices where we can streamline your operations, and document every configuration and customization your local requires. Sessions are scheduled at your pace over the four-week period.
The deliverable is a Discovery Package with three components: an Implementation Scope confirming all screens, reports, and processes the system must support; a fixed Implementation Cost with no estimates or ranges; and an Implementation Schedule with clear milestone dates. This gives you everything you need to make an informed decision about moving forward to full implementation.
No. Your eMembership subscription includes unlimited seats for your entire team. Every steward, officer, and staff member has full access at no additional cost, regardless of how many users your local has.
Yes. The Discovery process is built around understanding your union's specific requirements and configuring eMembership accordingly. We do not ask unions to change their operations to fit a standard template. The system is configured to support your workflows, not the other way around. This is true regardless of your union's size, structure, dues collection method, or affiliation.
Implementation timeline varies based on the scope confirmed in the Discovery Package: the number of modules, data migration complexity, integrations, and your team's availability for review cycles. We build and test in a preview environment so your team can provide feedback before go-live. The Implementation Schedule from your Discovery Package will include your specific milestone dates.
